ON 4 March the learners of the St Dominic’s College Primary School dressed up for the
Shrove Tuesday Parade, a tradition spanning more than 40 years in the history of the
school. Each class had a theme. Teachers, parents and learners alike all enjoyed the event
­ always a winner and a firm favourite on St Dominic’s calendar. Shrove Tuesday (also
known as Pancake Day) is a day of celebration as well as penitence observed by many
Christians worldwide, including Catholics, Methodists, Anglicans and Lutherans, because
it marks the last day before Lent. Lent is a period when Christians fast for 40 days. On
Shrove Tuesday people indulge themselves on foods that aren’t allowed to be eaten during
Lent. Pancakes are traditionally eaten on this day, because they use up many of the ingredi­
ents that are forbidden during the Lent period, hence the name Pancake Day. Here are
some of the fancy­dress costumes that could be seen on Shrove Tuesday.

MATJHABENG contractors who made a bid
in the tender process are unhappy with the
alleged corruption in the Matjhabeng
Municipality’s tender procedures.
Tonyaka Ramatsa, director of Tonyaka
Construction in Thabong, says he is tired of
the dishonesty of the Matjhabeng Municipality when it comes to issuing tenders.
He said he was hoping that the tender of
Losaba Open Channel rehabilitation in
Thabong near the Leseding High School
Bridge would be issued in a transparent and
fair manner. This developement will eradicate water flooding in that area. This tender
was advertised in a local newspaper. The
rules implied that the CIDB grading of
construction companies who could apply for
this tender should be between Gradings 4

and 5 or higher. However, at the compulsory
briefing session construction companies were
informed that the quotations should not
exceed R6 million.
“I am very disappointed because we were
informed that a company that issued a
quotation of R14 million was awarded the
tender. Now when we question why the
tender was issued to the highest bidder, they
tell us that it will no longer be an open but a
closed channel and the budget for the project
was therefore raised to R14 million.
“If this was a fair process why didn’t they
inform us? “We are sick and tired of the
fraud and corruption at Matjhabeng when it
comes to the tendering of tenders because to
us it is a waste of money.”
Vista contacted the Matjhabeng Municipality for comment, but had not received any
comment at the time of going to print.

These officials ‘useless’
EDDIE THOABALA, Riebeeckstad:
IT is time to expose municipal officials.
If there is a time for everything then there
must be time to expose government or
municipal officials who are, for lack of a
better word, useless.
One official working in the valuation
section in the Matjhabeng Local Municipality takes his own time to respond to a
loyal resident about the valuation of a
stand.
It took him to date 12 months to respond
or submit a response to that effect.
These are the people we are paying rates

and taxes for. No wonder investors are
getting weary of investing in this municipality.
I have decided to pen my frustrations so
that people could know the type of officials
we pay.
It is high time these officials take us
seriously, behave like good cadres and
serve the people.
I wonder how many victims of this act
are out there.
Even to this day I have not received the
valuation.
Some of these officials hide behind the
banners of the ruling party.

THE National African Federation of
Commerce and Industry (Nafcoc) elected
an excecutive committee in Virginia this
month.
The chairperson of the new branch,
Samson Tenkete, says this is a very good
initiative for Matjhabeng business
owners.
He says he would like to see more
people joining the business organisation
Nafcoc to eradicate poverty by growing
local businesses.
The secretary, Kingsley Lempe, agrees.
“This is us trying to fulfil the vision of
our founding fathers.
“We want to be centre stage in the South
African mainstream economy.
“As the newly-elected executive committee, we will engage with government,
businesses and all stakeholders to develop
member-benefitial products and create
funding solutions for our members.
“We will also have a roadshow around
the Matjhabeng area, after we have
conducted a strategic meeting on what
steps should be taken in order to promote
local business in the area,” he said.

Handbags bring new hope to women
THE Hoopstad Social Reintegration
Office and the Women’s Agricultural

present a project, Handbags of Hope,
together as part of their outreach to the
community.
They involved women probationers as
well as some of the caretakers of the
parolees and gave each woman a handbag containing certain items.
“The handbags were donated by
members of the union and inside were
medication for small injuries, toiletries
and something to eat,” said Dirkie Kotze,
social integration officer of the Hoopstad
Correctional Services.
“This is a community outreach project
of the Hoopstad DCS and Hoopstad WAU.
“The community was very happy
about this donation,” he said.

Volunteers from Down Under help orphans
Molly Green
FOR six successive years a group of Australian volunteers have been visiting Welkom
to help orphans – an initiative of the
Welkom-born Charmaine Wheatley.
Charmaine, a member of the Queensland
Rotary Club, is the daughter of the late Pat
Livanos who owned Trust Engineering. She
matriculated from the Welkom High School
and emigrated to Australia ten years ago.
“It is the sixth time that we have visited
the Dunamis Christian School. This year we
are building them a playground.”
All the members of the group, comprising
four men and ten women, are self-funded.
Their ages vary between 22 and 72 years and
amongst them are civil engineers, teachers,
nurses and pensioners.
This year they stayed at The Pines, an

orphanage in St Helena.
Every year they bring medical supplies,
books and clothes.
This year the shipping company Maersk
donated a 40 ft container in which clothing,
toys, books, computers and sports equipment
could be cargoed to South Africa.
Charmaine said she was touched when a
local Sotho community builder said to her:
“Thank you, Charmaine. You’ve not only
brought us supplies, but hope for the future
and smiles for the orphans.”
The group of volunteers raised funds in
Australia through a golf day and a Great
Gatsby dance party.
Sean McCarthy, an Australian engineer,
said to Vista: “The children give us more
than we give them”.
The group will also visit Pilanesberg in the
North-West, as well as Cape Town.

THE Australian volunteers who are reaching out to the Dunamis Christian School in
Welkom also visited several orphanages.

Hospice in dismal state

Bakkie
also
needed

Marti Will
THE Goldfields Hospice Association,
situated at Rose House in Montague Street,
Welkom, is 20 years old this year and the
wear-and-tear in the building is a visible
testimony of this.
Because of the high “foot” and “wheel”
traffic through the portals of this once
stately home, and the merciless strain the
geological ground structures place on the
houses in the Goldfields, there is an urgent
need for serious maintenance.
The paving outside is uneven and causes
problems to the elderly and disabled
patients who come to the hospice on a daily
basis.
The parking area needs attention for it to
be able to accommodate wheelchair carrying vehicles.
The cracks in the building also need
repair and the painting on the outside is in
a bad state.
Inside, the floors are in a dismal state,
and desperately need to be replaced.
Wooden floor boards are old and have
become dislodged in places.
The carpets are curling and have become
frayed at the edges. The flooring situation
creates a tripping hazard for the elderly
and disabled.
In the kitchen area the linoleum has
perished and been totally worn away.
“We urgently need our interior flooring
replaced with a durable solution like
laminated floors or a new material on the
market called EVT tiling. This will solve
the problem for the long term,” says Marli
Young, general manager of the Goldfields
Hospice Association.
“Our budget is stretched and we rely on

donations of money and kind. This would
also include any cleaning materials and
toilet paper,” she says.
For any enquiries, call 057-353-2191/52, or
fax to 057-352-6061.

The postal address is PO Box 1556,
Welkom, and the physical address is 58
Montague Street, Bedelia, Welkom, 9459.
Readers can also learn more about the
association at www.goldfieldshospice.co.za

IN addition to their maintenance
needs, Hospice requires a small,
fuel-efficient, light delivery vehicle
(bakkie) with which to visit patients
and transport necessary equipment
like wheelchairs, commodes and other
medical equipment.
“We also need to replace our old
Golf, which is virtually on its last
wheels,” says Marli Young.
Young says there is an urgent need
for fuel vouchers/sponsors to keep the
professional nursing staff and vehicles
on the road.
Hospice services some 320 patients
in a 60 km² radius. “Altogether 40% to
50% of our patients are homebound
and special transport like a bakkie is
needed for their wheelchairs and other
aids,” she says.
Young says the professional nurse
needs to visit terminally ill patients at
home. “For this to become a reality,
Hospice needs a fuel budget of
between R5 000 and R7 000 per month,”
she says.
Rose House has limited space and to
accommodate the storage of medical
equipment, wheelchairs, commodes,
food parcels and other donations they
need large storage containers to place
outside the building.

Goldfields Hospice a registered NPO

THE Goldfields Hospice Associaton is a registered NPO and a
Section 18A (tax exempted)
organisation.
The donor of any cash or goods

donated in kind to a section
18A approved organisation is
entitled to a deduction from his or
